Conan's New Background Sure Looks Familiar




Conan's new Tonight Show set sure is nice, but the guys at Serious Lunch noticed that his new monologue backdrop looks pretty familiar. As in Mushroom Kingdom familiar.

Chen and I are in disagreement as to whether or not this is intentional. I say it's a coincidence, but he's convinced that Mario was a definite inspiration for this background. What do you guys think?

Totally worthy of an ONTD post only because it's ConeBone.

eta: the gif!

I love this nerd :]

eta 2: Tonight Show writer mentioned this on Twitter & said they might talk about it tonight!

@BigBley Ha ha ha - thanks for the Super Mario tip, friends - b/c of you, we might do it as a bit on the show tonight! I'll keep you posted! ;)

Oh same.
mangledthoughts 4th-Jun-2009 06:23 pm (UTC)
really?
Look how many things they are mashing together.
Some of those levels don't even exist!
Someone just made it look like Mario, and fit what they could in.
I call bullshit.

Dude, my week has consisted of getting art really late for my comic that's already 2 days past the original publication deadline, nearly stepping on a big dead bird and finding out that United Airlines wants $880 if I want to change my $670 plane tickets.

THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE SEEN THIS WEEK.

Hm, you know, you might be right!

Lol@you having an icon of Conan impersonating the female president of Finland.

So random :)

I think it looks more like Arsenio Hall's background.

that shit is identical. wow.

ikr? damn
shanniesaysyo 7th-Jun-2009 09:00 pm (UTC)
theres no real scene like that in mario (from my husband the all time nintendo geek) but they just put all of those things together to fit in.

its still really cool looking
croutonochrist 4th-Jun-2009 04:26 pm (UTC)
LOL! It matches up pretty much perfectly. Knowing the super geeks Conan works with, I totally buy that they ripped off Mario.
arcaneaspersion 4th-Jun-2009 04:26 pm (UTC)
LOL there's no way that's a coincidence

It's awesome, though.
jezabel 4th-Jun-2009 04:28 pm (UTC)
ikr? c'mon, Gawker writer. How would that be a coincidence lol?
sxxylilnumba 4th-Jun-2009 04:32 pm (UTC)
totally agreed

Hilarity!

Conan's show was so great last night with Bradley Cooper and Julia Louis Dreyfuss. LMFAO

Coop and Coco!
shanzer22 4th-Jun-2009 04:31 pm (UTC)
YES it was. I loved it.
southern_shrimp 4th-Jun-2009 04:46 pm (UTC)
I think my favorite Coco sketch ever is the one where Julia steals Tina's Emmy, so reliving that was amazing.
solitune 4th-Jun-2009 04:47 pm (UTC)
SO TRUE
neko_oni 4th-Jun-2009 04:26 pm (UTC)
Ha ha, WHAT.
like_torches 4th-Jun-2009 04:26 pm (UTC)
Just when we though Conan couldn't be more amazing...
